"Philadelphia Eagles rookie safety Andrew Mukuba suffered an ankle fracture that will require surgery, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Monday. Mukuba suffered the injury during Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, and it will be determined during surgery whether there is potential for him to return this season. Selected in the second round of this year's draft, Mukuba has appeared in the Eagles' first 11 games, making 10 starts. He has two interceptions, three passes defended and 46 tackles, included two for loss."
""Yeah, you guys saw the report. He'll be out for some time, for a little bit. I'll never put a timetable on a guy. We'll see how long," Sirianni said. He named Michael Carter II and Sydney Brown as players who could step in during Mukuba's absence and said the Eagles still have starting safety Reed Blankenship in the secondary."

Michael Carter II and Sydney Brown were identified as immediate depth options, while Reed Blankenship remains a starter and practice-squad players provide additional roster depth.
